This is one of those books where the blurb is intriguing, but I have no idea what to expect when I start reading. Will it live up to what I'm imagining it to be? Will it be an angst-fest even though it states to be "a moderate amount of angst"? Well, suffice to say, it lived up to my hopes and expectations.

There's a definite psychological thread running though this. A lot about mental health (and the unhealthy ways to to deal with stress and anxiety) and the inability to be able to face up to this. But at the heart of it is a love story that is pure, honest and beautiful. It's a story of two men who despite seeming to be complete opposites grow into relationship that is to be treasured.

This is truly a book that will stay with me for quite a while. I might have picked it up because of a challenge, but I'm oh, so grateful that I did. I would have missed out on a true gem otherwise! ( )

Riveting

This shattered me and pieced me back together in the space of a Sunday. Everything about this book had me wondering: how has she managed to weave such an enthralling story? ‘The Endless Road to Sunshine’ is proof of the evocative, immersive power of words. If I wasn’t addicted to reading already, this would have been my undoing. The characters practically glowed with their intensity. The moods throughout the book were as broad as the characters personalities. From creepy, somber, suspicious, and morose, to energetic, erotic, and amusing. The songs mentioned in the book were a huge bonus. So good! Definitely a book that should be on the reading list for a psychology course. ( )
